Shubhanshu Shukla Shows How Basic Lab Tasks Become Complex In Microgravity
Even the simplest laboratory tasks on Earth rely on gravity, but in space, they can quickly become complex, astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has revealed.

Dark Matter May Not Exist, Study Suggests Gravity Works Differently at Cosmic Scales
A new theoretical study suggests dark matter may not exist, proposing instead that gravity behaves differently across vast cosmic distances. By modifying how gravity weakens over scale, the research explains galaxy rotation and lensing effects without unseen particles, raising questions about long-standing cosmological models and inviting a fresh l...

Gravity May Behave Differently Across the Universe, Study Suggests
A new study suggests dark matter may not exist. Physicist Naman Kumar proposes gravity weakens differently across vast distances, following a 1/r rule. This modified gravity model reproduces galaxy rotation curves using only visible matter, challenging long-held assumptions about unseen mass in the universe, and reshaping theories of cosmic structu...

Physicists Develop New Method to Detect Tiny Fluctuations in Spacetime
Physicists at the University of Warwick have developed a new framework to detect tiny spacetime fluctuations known as “quantum foam,” a long-standing prediction of quantum gravity theories. The study maps different types of spacetime noise to measurable signals in interferometers such as LIGO and smaller laboratory setups. By translating abstra...

New Study Explores How LIGO-Style Lasers Could Test Quantum Gravity
Gravitational waves, first directly detected in 2015, have opened a new way of observing the universe. Now, physicist Ralf Schützhold of HZDR proposes going a step further—actively interacting with these ripples in spacetime using powerful lasers. His theoretical scheme builds on LIGO-style interferometers, where intense laser pulses bounce repe...

Russia Patents Rotating Space Station Concept to Generate Artificial Gravity in Orbit
Russia’s Energia rocket company has patented a rotating space station concept designed to generate artificial gravity for astronauts. The system would use spinning habitable modules to simulate half of Earth’s gravity, potentially reducing health risks linked to long missions as the International Space Station nears retirement.

"Temple": Zomato CEO's "Coming Soon" Post On Mystery Device Sparks Buzz
Weeks after Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal hinted at his newest offering, a brain blood flow monitoring device called 'Temple', he has shared a new update on the product's launch with a "Coming Soon" social media post on Sunday.

Dark Matter May Behave Like Ordinary Matter Under Gravity, New Study Finds
A new study shows dark matter falls into cosmic gravity wells much like ordinary matter, narrowing one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. Researchers say any unknown force acting on dark matter must be very weak, though future missions could detect smaller effects. The findings bring scientists closer to understanding how the universe’s unseen m...

Scientists Apply Stephen Hawking's Theory to Propose Detectable ‘Black Hole Morsels’ in Space
A new study suggests “black hole morsels” — tiny, asteroid-sized black holes from cosmic mergers — could emit detectable bursts of Hawking radiation. Observatories like HESS, HAWC, and Fermi may already hold clues. Detecting them could unlock insights into quantum gravity, unknown particles, and even hidden dimensions beyond the Standard Mo...

"Dropped Laptop, Expected It To Float": Shubhanshu Shukla's Gravity 'Mishap'
When Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla returned to Earth after his historic 20-day space mission, he experienced a moment that was both humorous and deeply revealing.

New Theory Challenges Black Hole Singularities, But Critics Raise Red Flags
A new black hole theory proposes a fix to the long-standing singularity paradox by modifying gravity equations. But scientists like Nikodem Poplawski argue that the model lacks observational support and rests on speculative assumptions. He suggests future data from gravitational waves or the cosmic microwave background may one day help us uncover t...
